    In the last segment, we learned about the distance–time graph for uniform motion. In this segment, we will learn about the distance–time graph for non-uniform motion.

    Distance–time graph for non-uniform motion

    We already know that for a uniform motion, the distance-time graph is a straight line. This is because a body in uniform motion covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

    Now if a body is undergoing non-uniform motion, the body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time. This makes the distance-time graph non-linear.

    How to find the distance traveled by a body in non-uniform motion?

    To find the distance traveled by the body at any time instant, we will mark a point corresponding to that time on the X-axis, on the graph. Mapping this point towards the Y-axis, we can find the distance travelled by that body.
